Bob Adams has filed a motion in federal court. He values the confiscated guns at more than $1 million, and said the January seizure is hurting his gun business. He said he needs them back.

The warrant accuses Adams of committing federal gun law violations, essentially bringing guns into the U.S. illegally and avoiding taxes and customs.

So far, he isn’t facing any charges.

Prosecutors said the guns shouldn’t be returned because they plan on possibly filing criminal charges against him, possibly in the fall. Prosecutors filed this response to Adams’ motion this past week, and said their investigation has been slowed because many of the guns they took don’t have serial numbers and have been sent to a forensic lab for testing.

Adams’ attorneys said in the motion the warrant was granted using information more than three years old, and some of the guns taken have nothing to do with allegations presented in the search and seizure warrants.

Prosecutors said they did return two guns because they were not involved in any crime.

Adams’ attorneys have 14 days to file a response, and then a judge will rule on the motion.

Adams, his attorney and the U.S. assistant attorney prosecuting the case all declined to comment.
